JPMorgan Chase & Co., a financial holding company, provides various financial services worldwide. The company has a P/E ratio of 10.1, below the S&P 500 P/E ratio of 17.7.

TheStreet Ratings rates JPMorgan Chase as a
buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its reasonable valuation levels, good cash flow from operations, expanding profit margins and solid stock price performance. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income.
